Invisible wounds…

Elizabeth’s sister
isn’t the same anymore.
Her husband went to war.
He came back whole
but aching inside.
He sits in shadow
and cries.
“There’s no one left.” says he.
“I’m still here.” says she.
“I can hear their pain.”
“Your son wants to play.”
“This isn’t what he should see.”
“We want you at home. Please,
don’t leave us alone.”
“I’ll be back when I can.”
The door closed.
Elizabeth’s sister
isn’t the same anymore.
She sits in shadow.
And cries.
I won’t lie.
I prefer an acoustic guitar over an electric.
It just feels more “natural” to me.
I like em both but for different reasons.
They work different.
Ever heard Little Wing?
Here’s 2 short vids of a dood playing little wing on 2 diff guitars, 1 acoustic and 1 electric.
Choose your favorite if you can.

Yes, I can play it both ways.
Haunting and succinct and I’m guessing the experience of many.
Thank you, Karen. I’d say you’re right.
